This is an interview with Allan Allaway, Vice-Chairman of the Alliance for Forgotten Australians about the Federal Government's apology to children abused in orphanges and other institutions in Australia from the 1930s to the 1970s. The interview was done for 4ZZZ-FM Radio News in Brisbane, Australia, where I'm a volunteer. 4ZZZ-FM can be heard on 102.1FM in Brisbane, or via webstreaming from their website.
